    I'm not tired of hearing this harp...

    Thanks Patrick for continuing to publicize your perspective on this subject. It is NOT one that we hear too much, but rather it's one that the leadership who is in charge doesn't hear enough, or the fallout from which they think they are immune...and so far they have been proven to be.

    Keep exposing these idiotic policies and let's hope some citizen action results in these security frauds being exposed for the neurotic dim-wittedness that so characterize the current level of proficiency when it comes to nearly all aspects of governmental control that invade our daily lives.
